Mission details:

On Nov 30, 2018 Russia launched a Rokot vehicle into a 1485 x 1508 km orbit. Three Rodnik military low orbit comm satellites, given codenames Cosmos-2530 to 2532, were deployed at about 0410 UTC.
The Briz-KM upper stage lowered its orbit at 0424 UTC to 1176 x 1506 km.
A fifth object cataloged in this lower orbit is probably just a debris object. It could be a small extra payload, but has not maneuvered to date.
